I was never surprised Maeve was Head Girl purely from a line out of Bride leads where Peggy encourages Bride to accept Headship because she wanted all the girls in the family to be Head Girls. I also that same impression with the Lucy family mainly for the life of me I don't understand the extra year with Julie as Head Girl. Everyone seems to be repeating a year or jump, so I tend to se Julie as Head as something EBD wanted and worked out a way to get it. |

Maeve is more a lighthearted type who rules by being bubbly. |

This was the third time EBD did the 'joining with another school' plot. I |

And not directly joining with another school, but didn't they get a lot of pupils when a school near them in Armishire closed down? Was that where Monica and various others came from? |

Which makes you wonder, did the Chalet School go around sabotaging local schools to increase their intake? |

Lisa Townsend's fill-in - due to be published next I believe - covers that term and the drains episode. |

Pat!!!! At least I didn't gloat about it. |

I do find it odd that the school is able to absorb some 40 some girls at very short notice, when the previous term they didn't have enough room to squeeze in four girls who were living on the Platz and desperately needed a place. |

Thing is, though, the whole CS term's been delayed for a couple of weeks (and hence they don't get so much of a half term) because of building work - they built the extra room required over the summer! Ray *who is impressed at the apparent efficiency of Swiss builders!* |

This "feud" seemed far more believable than the one starring the Balbinis, and I thought it peaked and then dwindled fairly naturally. I didn't get the impression that the golden syrup did any more than show the last step in a progression for Gillie & Jack. They were already getting along fairly well at that point, leaving only the painfully gauche Miss Ashley to come to terms. |

The building would have been made of wood so construction would be rapid. Have you never watched Extreme House Makeover where they demolish a house and completely rebuild it, and decorate and furnish it in a week! |
JayB wrote: |
Isn't Gillie the first person Jack's encountered at school who has as strong a personality as herself, and she just doesn't like having someone around who doesn't think she's the cat's bathmat? Without those two, I doubt there'd ever have been a feud. |

I also found the complete disappearance of Jo Scott very puzzling! |

I think I'm alone in this, but actually I thought Maeve made a good head girl. There is also more individualtiy in her style of authority than in a good many of the other heads, including other members of the clans. Maeve seems to be more lighthearted than other head girls have been, but an effective leader for all that. Jo Scott I think would have been another one of the fairly dull head girls. (Though I like her as a character, her style wouldn't have been very distinctive.) |

I was just thinking the same - I've had a look around and can't find it anywhere on the board or the index. I'm guessing it got hacked before it could be archived. So, I can post it again, if folks are interested... |

There does seem to be very little about either Josette or Maeve as Head Girl - the focus seems to shift right away from the VIth formers in those years. It's as if after OOAO & co leave we're just waiting until the triplets are old enough to "rule the school", to borrow an expression from Grease ! Jack Lambert & co are interesting enough, but it's a shame we don't see more of Josette or Maeve as Head. |
